what material is this made of. Sunbrella? Fade resistant?

we bought ours last summer- i haven't noticed any fade, but we did bring them in during the winter (Colorado) they are made of a some sort of softer version of canvas. overall i would recommend. as far as color they are a bit more of a burnt orange.

Not sunbrella, but very fade resistant. I have some sunbrella and it is much coarser-this is like a heavy nylon with a silky feel. It is a rich burnt orange. I live in So. Ca.

I'm not sure of the material. It appears to be a type of nylon. It has faded just a little.

It appears to be mostly synthetic...ours is outdoors and although it is not that old it seems to be holding up well to the elements and our use so far,as with anything outside I am sure that the sun will eventually fade/discolor it.

It's a plastic composite of some sort...very durable and thick. It has provided just the right amount of shade but still allows sunshine brightness. It's closer to a Sunbrella-type fabric used on patio umbrellas, but with a more open weave. That's the best that I can tell you...someone else may be able to give you more technical information.

it's a nylon type material which should be ok outside, don't expect that it is sunbrella or they would advertise that, so it may fade, but I would expect that with a dark color

It is a sunbrella, it is made the same as the others. I threw out the packaging when we bought it 5 months ago so I can't tell you for sure-but I don't see why that would be missing. It is an excellent umbrella.

I've already thrown away the box it came in so I can't be sure of the exact material. However, it is not a tarp-like material or plastic. It is also not canvas similar to sunbrella. It is a synthetic in between. So far I have not seen any degradation of the material itself and my only complaint continues to be the narrow fit over the beam. If I stumble upon a tag that tells me exactly what material it is, I'll post it on here.

Seems to be a sunbrella type of fabric similar to what I have on my boat as sail covers. Not sure of the weight in ozs but is medium weight and holds up good in the sun.

Hello no it isn't fade resistant, I bought it partly for the pretty color and sad to say after just a little while outside the color has faded drastically. Very disappointed..

It is a nylon material, but it has worn well and not faded like other covers we have purchased. It is not a permanent solution,but we have had them on the car for a year while my son saves for new seats.

The fabric seems to the a treated material not sure if nylon or light canvas type material. Is not plastic, seems to hold up well. When the sun finally ruins this one, I will try to buy this same type again.

They are made of a light weight nylon type material. I hung them outside in my trees for 8 months where they stayed in all types of weather. They were all still working perfectly when I recently brought them in for hurricane season in The Florida Keys, although the color of the material was somewhat sun faded. They have a very soft glowing light, and everybody loved them.

I cannot confirm that the fabric is "sunbrella", but I can tell you they are designed to be used outdoors. I use mine indoors because we have dogs, they are tough, beautiful, and clean up easy. I would highly recommend them.

Not sure on mildew, but most definitely NOT fade resistant, I live in SC and keep the hammock outside maybe half the time....not nearly the color it was new...but there is no mildew smell or staining and it has been out through several storms

The housing is plastic so I put alumitape inside for better light. durability is good and haven't noticed any color fade and they have been in the phoenix sun for about 6 months.

The material is a canvas type material, almost like a thicker verson of a camping tent, mine has been out in the sun for 8 months in the florida sun and still looks like new.

it's a canvas like material. Actually pretty resistant. HOWEVER... the bolt that goes into the middle bracket scrapes against the fabric as you are rolling/unrolling the awning and eventually caused a tear in mine. Aside from the difficulty in getting the bolt in there, it's not worth it, since it will eventually rip the fabric. I, personally, feel that the two bolts on the end are sufficient, since the bolts only hold the canopy in the brackets and don't actually support any weight (the brackets support the weight). Hope this helps!
